The earth is facing an environmental Armageddon for
which the only answer is … a global government.

For many people around the world (not just the United
Nations), the global warming issue and the potential global regulation of
emissions, provides a means of achieving their desired goal: global
governance. This is the reason that the “debate is over”. In science, the
debate is not over. In politics… well… “A
comment about the scientific community. It is easier sometimes to get
consensus in the political community, rather than in the scientific
community.” quote by Maurice Strong, July 2009 (Strong was a key
developer of the global warming scare – see below, and see the History of the
Global Warming Scare).

“The whole aim of
practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be
led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of
them imaginary.” – H.L. Mencken

Al Gore: Speaking in Oxford at the Smith School World Forum on
Enterprise and the Environment in 2009, (part of the Social
Sciences Division) Al Gore touted the Congressional climate bill,
claiming it “will dramatically increase the prospects for success” in
combating what he sees as the “crisis” of man-made global warming. “But it is the awareness itself
that will drive the change and one of the ways it will drive the change is
through global governance and global agreements.” (at 1:10 in the
video at http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/environment/article6658672.ece)

The concept of global governance was promoted in 1991 by
the Club of Rome in a report called “The First Global Revolution”, which
asserted that current problems "are
essentially global and cannot be solved through individual country
initiatives [which] gives a greatly enhanced importance to the United Nations
and other international systems." Also in 1991 Strong claimed that the
Earth Summit, of which he was Secretary General, would play an important role
in "reforming and strengthening the United Nations as the centerpiece
of the emerging system of democratic global governance." In 1995, in
‘Our Global Neighborhood’, the CGG [UN Commission on Global Governance]
agreed: "It is our firm conclusion that the United Nations must continue
to play a central role in global governance." the Commission's
recommendations: for instance, that some UN activities be funded through
taxes on foreign-exchange transactions and multinational corporations. ... It
also recommended that "user fees" might be imposed on companies
operating in the "global commons." including carbon taxes, which
would be levied on all fuels made from coal, oil, and natural gas."
[http://www.afn.org/~govern/strong.html].

According to The First Global Revolution: “It would seem that humans need
a common motivation...either a real one or else one invented for the
purpose....In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the
idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine
and the like would fit the bill. All these dangers are caused by human
intervention, and it is only through changed attitudes and behavior that they
can be overcome. The real enemy then, is humanity itself.” [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Club_of_Rome] And: “Sacrilegious though this may sound, democracy is no longer
well suited for the tasks ahead. The complexity and the technical nature of
many of today’s problems do not always allow elected representatives to make
competent decisions at the right time.” [http://scienceandpublicpolicy.org/policy.html]

Maurice Strong, a key developer of the global warming
scare, was one of the original members of the Club of Rome. (See: www.appinsys.com/GlobalWarming/GW_History.htm
for a detailed account of Maurice Strong’s involvement at the UN in
developing the global warming scare.) In the 1970s and 1980s Strong ran the
United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), was director of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature
(IUCN) and vice-president of its fund-raising arm, the World Wildlife Fund
(WWF). In 1996 Maurice Strong was special advisor to UN Secretary
General Boutros Boutros-Ghali and by 1997 Strong was Senior Advisor to UN
Secretary General Kofi Annan; Senior Advisor to World Bank President James
Wolfensohn; Chairman of the Earth Council; Chairman of the World Resources
Institute (WRI); Co-Chairman of the Council of the World Economic Forum. From
2003 to 2005 Kofi Annan’s personal envoy to Korea was Maurice Strong, which
brought him into close contact with the South Korean government, where Ban
Ki-Moon (who took over from Annan in 2007 as U.N. Secretary-General), was
then foreign minister. (His bio is at [http://www.mauricestrong.net/bio.html])
In 1974 Maurice Strong gave a speech at a college in Canada at which he said:
“The ethic of abundant
resources must give way to the ethics of scarcity and conservation”
… “Economic growth is not
the cure, it is the disease” [http://www.enterstageright.com/archive/articles/1201/1201strong.htm].
He also said: “Frankly,
we may get to the point where the only way of saving the world will be for
industrial civilization to collapse." [http://www.afn.org/~govern/strong.html]

Addressing the IUCN in July 2009, Maurice Strong stated: “After we established the United
Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) [1972], one of the first things we did was to organise
expert group meetings on climate change. … Climate change was an early issue.
A comment about the scientific community. It is easier sometimes to get
consensus in the political community, rather than in the scientific
community. … Changes in the climate are occurring more rapidly, and some
changes are beyond the possibility of reversing. … The climate change
issue and the economic issue come from the same roots. And that is the gross inequity
and the inadequacy of our economic model. We now know that we have to
change that model.” [http://www.mauricestrong.net/speeches/speeches/strong-iucn.html]

“The
world has cancer and the cancer is man.” – quote from A. Gregg as the
opening to Chapter 1 of the “Second Report to the Club of Rome – Mankind at
the Turning Point”, 1974. “I
hope [the Club of Rome] will continue for many years to come to spell out the
unpalatable facts and to unsettle the conscience of the smug and apathetic.”
– Prince Philip in his message to the Delegates, 20th Anniversary Conference
of the Club of Rome (in “The First Global Revolution”). Prince Phillip has
also made the statement: “In
the event that I am reincarnated, I would like to return as a deadly virus,
in order to contribute something to solve overpopulation.” in the foreword to Fleur Cowles’ “If I Were an Animal” 1987. [http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Prince_Philip,_Duke_of_Edinburgh] Prince Phillip served as the president of the World Wildlife Fund
International from 1981 – 1996. The WWF provides fund-raising for the IUCN.

The Washington State based “Yes” magazine is a big
promoter of the global warming scare among “progressives”. It is published by
David Korten of the “People-Centered Development Forum”. Korten is a full member
of the Club of Rome – one of only four in the USA. (The list of current
members is available at [http://www.clubofrome.org/eng/people/full_members2.asp].)
Korten recently published a book called “Agenda for a New Economy” which he
launched at the Trinity Wall Street Church. He states: “My presentation … made the case
that the Wall Street financial crisis is at its core a spiritual crisis born
of a violation of the biblical injunction against the worship of Mammon”.
In the book launch, he referred to a Democracy Now interview with his wife,
which featured “her
relationship with Ann Soetoro, Barack Obama’s mother, when we lived in
Indonesia”. [http://www.davidkorten.org/NewAgendaLaunch].

In the 1970’s Maurice
Strong was the director of the IUCN and expanded it to include NGOs. The IUCN
promotes "lifestyles,
based in ecospiritualpractice".
In 1996 President Clinton issued Executive Order 12986, which stated, in part:
"I
hereby extend to the International Union for Conservation of Nature and
Natural Resources [IUCN] the privileges and immunities that provide or
pertain to immunity from suit”. The
organization's Commission on Environmental Strategy and Planning, claims a
mandate to"change human behavior" by using a strategy
"based less on the facts ... than on the values they hold." Steven Rockefeller (often described as the father of
sustainable development), co-authored a book in 1992 called “Spirit and
Nature: Why the Environment Is A Religious Issue” describing the principles
espoused by the IUCN. [http://www.bitterroot.com/grizzly/GLOBALIZEDGRIZZLIES.HTM] (See [http://sovereignty.net/p/sd/strong.html]
for more details on Strong’s connections to the Rockefellers and other global
governance promoters.)

The current president of the WWF is
Emeka Anyaoku – former head of NEPAD: “Noting that
previous development strategies for Africa have not fulfilled the promises
made, the chairman of a special United Nations advisory panel on the New
Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD)
today recommended
greater and more focused investment and aid, wider debt relief and freer
trade for African products. Chief Emeka Anyaoku, chair of the panel, brought the
recommendations to Secretary-General Kofi Annan, who appointed the 13 members
last July. “NEPAD cannot succeed without a significant increase in support
from the international community”” [http://www.un.org/apps/news/storyAr.asp?NewsID=14491&Cr=nepad&Cr1=]
Anyaoku is also a member of the Club of Rome [http://www.clubofrome.org/eng/people/honorary_members.asp]

In 2000, the IUCN co-hosted
the first “Earth Forum” along with the Earth Council, run by Maurice Strong,
who also addressed the IUCN’s congress, urging the adoption of the “Earth
Charter” [http://www.iisd.ca/sd/iucn/wcc2/sdvol39no1e.html]. Strong said “The unique character of IUCN as a global
organization with both governmental and non-governmental members: I am
greatly encouraged at revitalization of the long-standing partnership between
IUCN and WWF. This, together with your new partnerships with organizations
like the Earth Council and University for Peace, and links with the World
Economic Forum and World Business Council for Sustainable Development provide
IUCN with an unprecedented opportunity for leadership in developing the new
mechanisms of global governance. These, I am persuaded, involve a move
away from traditional patterns of centralized control to the forming of
coalitions and networks of all major actors around specific issues. Indeed, this
is what UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan is proposing under his program of
reform and his new vision for the future of UN. … IUCN has been deeply
involved in the process of formulating the Earth Charter which is
complimentary to and supportive of your Covenant.” [http://www.earthcharterinaction.org/resources/files/strong_jordan.htm]

The IUCN stifles conflicting views. Mitchell Taylor, who
has been researching Canada’s polar bears for more than 30 years) was
prevented from attending the IUCN Polar Bear Specialist Group meeting in 2009
because his views conflict with the IUCN (see “Polar Bear Expert Barred by
Global Warmists”

The World Resources Institute (WRI) of which Maurice
Strong was once Chairman, is an environmental think tank founded in 1982 by
James (Gus) Speth with funding from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur
Foundation. Al Gore is on the WRI board of directors. The current board
chairman – James Harmon is a Senior Advisor to the Rothschild Group and a
member of the Council on Foreign Relations. Speth was an administrator at
UNEP and chair of the UN Development Group and is also on the board (and
co-founder) of the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) and the
Rockefeller Brothers Fund. WRI Board member Frances Beineke is also the
president of NRDC. Speth was co-author of “Global Environmental Governance”
which states that “Global
environmental governance includes but is not limited to the governance of the
global commons.” [http://books.google.com/books?id=8BodgyedGPoC&dq=global+environmental+governance+speth&

NGOs have been receiving increased power not only at the
UN but also in the EU. NGOs can participate in the European Court of Justice
(ECJ). For example, Greenpeace sued the Commission of European Communities to
try to prevent the construction of power stations in the Canary Islands. [http://www.globalpolicy.org/component/content/article/177-un/31582.html]
The referenced paper went on to say: “Environmentally focused NGOs may not accurately
balance the public interest in environmental protection against other
concerns such as economic development.”

Club of
Rome Efforts

An article in the UK Guardian: “British
campaigner urges UN to accept 'ecocide' as international crime”: “The proposal for the
United Nations to accept "ecocide" as a fifth "crime against
peace", which could be tried at the International Criminal Court (ICC),
is the brainchild of British lawyer-turned-campaigner Polly Higgins. …
Supporters of a new ecocide law also believe it could be used to prosecute
"climate deniers" who distort science and facts to discourage
voters and politicians from taking action to tackle global warming and
climate change.”

The global warming alarm was initiated at the United
Nations in the 1980s.The original goal was to use it to achieve global
governance and fund it through a global carbon tax. Maurice Strong and the
IUCN organized the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development
(UNCED), held in Rio de Janeiro in 1992 (“The Earth Summit”). Strong Stated:
"It is clear that
current lifestyles and consumption patterns of the affluent middle-class ...
involving high meat intake, consumption of large amounts of frozen and
‘convenience’ foods, ownership of motor-, numerous electric household
appliances, home and workplace air-conditioning ... expansive suburban
housing ... are not sustainable." In the months leading up to
the 1992 Rio conference, Strong made various statements against the middle
class of the industrialized world. He declared that "the United States is clearly
the greatest risk"
to the world’s ecological health. This was so, he said, because, "In
effect, the United States is committing environmental aggression against
the rest of the world." [http://www.nwowatcher.com/ebooks/Global%20Tyranny%20Step%20By%20Step%20-%20By%20William%20F%20Jasper.pdf]
"The objective,
clearly enunciated by the leaders of UNCED, is to bring about a change in the
present system of independent nations. The future is to be World
Government with central planning by the United Nations. Fear of environmental
crises - whether real or not - is expected to lead to – compliance”
(Dixy Lee Ray in eco-logic 1992 [http://sovereignty.net/p/gov/rise/g_part08.html])

The United Nations Commission on Global Government (CGG)
released its report “Our Global Neighborhood” in 1995: "Charges for use of the global commons have a broad
appeal on grounds of conservation and economic efficiency as well as for
political and revenue reasons. … A carbon tax introduced across a large
number of countries or a system of traded permits for carbon emissions would
yield very large revenues indeed." [http://www.sovereignty.net/p/gov/gganalysis.htm]
The commission’s report stated: “The
concept of national sovereignty has been immutable, indeed a sacred principle
of international relations. It is a principle which will yield only slowly
and reluctantly to the new imperatives of global environmental cooperation.”

The Earth Charter: “In
1987, the United Nations World Commission on Environment and Development
issued a call for the creation of a new charter that would set forth
fundamental principles for sustainable development. The drafting of an Earth
Charter was part of the unfinished business of the 1992 Rio Earth Summit. In
1994 Maurice Strong, the Secretary-General of the Earth Summit and Chairman
of the Earth Council, and Mikhail Gorbachev, Chairman of Green Cross
International, launched a new Earth Charter initiative with support from the
Dutch government.” [http://www.gci.ch/en/what-we-do/values-and-behaviour-change/earth-charter]

In a 2000 interview when Gorbachev was in New York to
address the UN Millennium Summit, he stated: “I
appreciate so much the initiative of Ted Turner, with whom we have started
working this year on some kind of daily presence of the environmental
concerns. Every day, there's something about the environment and every week a
major program on the environment on CNN.” And: “Global institutions must play a
role here, particularly the United Nations … in the international court at
The Hague, we could have an environmental tribunal that would take charge”

The Global Leadership for Climate Action (GLCA) is a
project of the United Nations Foundation and the Club of Madrid (a club of
ex-prime ministers and ex-presidents). Timothy Worth is co-chair of the GLCA;
several Club of Rome members are on the GLCA, as well as a former president
of the IUCN. Ted Turner and George Soros are also on the GLCA. The head of
the UN IPCC, Pachauri, is one of the senior advisors. [http://www.globalactionnow.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=34&Itemid=53]

In the 1970s the UN expanded the role of NGOs at UN
conferences. Recently the buzzword has changed to “civil society” and Civil
Society Organizations (CSOs). “Thousands
of Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) today participate in the major UN
conferences and participate in many other UN activities - increasingly as
active participants, not just observers. … Is this huge industry all built on
one flimsy, conditional sentence in the UN's Charter [in Article 17]? This
clause may have opened a door at the outset, but the importance of civil
society within the UN system reflects more the changing nature of the world
we live in and the contemporary challenges of global governance. … some large
international NGOs have started to seek special status for themselves with
the GA [UN General Assembly] (namely the Inter-Parliamentary Union, and IUCN
- the World Conservation Union).”
[http://www.globalpolicy.org/component/content/article/226-initiatives/32330-un-system-and-civil-society.html]

The U.S. Government

Obama’s science advisor, John Holdren, has
been sounding alarms for decades (“We are not, of course, optimistic
about our chances of success. Some form of ecocatastrophe, if not
thermonuclear war, seems almost certain to overtake us before the end of the
century. (The inability to forecast exactly which one – whether plague,
famine, the poisoning of the oceans, drastic climatic change, or some
disaster entirely unforeseen – is hardly grounds for complacency.)”). In 1977 he
coauthored a book with the Ehrlichs called “Ecoscience: Population,
Resources and Environment”, in which they wrote: : “Such a comprehensive Planetary Regime could control the
development, administration, conservation, and distribution of all natural
resources, renewable or nonrenewable…not only in the atmosphere and oceans, but in such freshwater
bodies as rivers and lakes…The Regime might also be a logical central agency
for regulating all international trade…The Planetary Regime might be given
responsibility for determining the optimum population for the world and for
each region and for arbitrating various countries’ shares within their
regional limits…the Regime would have some power to enforce the agreed
limits.“(p. 943.) [http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2195361/posts]

Holdren has also coauthored publications with R.K.
Pachauri (who is now the head of the UN’s IPCC). In “An Agenda of
Science for Environment and Development into the 21st Century”, 1991, they
state: “Global warming …
is arguably the most dangerous of all the environmental impacts of human
activity.” (See http://www.appinsys.com/GlobalWarming/ObamasGovernment.htm#holdren)

Obama’s
coordinator of energy and climate policy (“Energy Czar”) is Carol Browner,
who until that appointment was a commission member of the “Socialist
International - Commission for a Sustainable World Society”.From their
statement on climate change: “Global governance is no longer a
concept but an urgent necessity. … Reiterating its firm conviction that the international
agenda for climate change has to be linked to eradicating poverty, the
Commission underlined that any global economic reforms had to ensure that
development was not only greener, but also more just and sustainable, and
that national and international development policies must include climate
concerns.” [http://www.socialistinternational.org/viewArticle.cfm?ArticlePageID=1230]

Browner is also on the Board of Directors of the
Alliance for Climate Protection. What is the Alliance for Climate
Protection? “it
is Al Gore, substantially ... He is the chairman of the board, and the
organization can be thought of as a vast extension of Al Gore's now-famous
slide show depicted in An Inconvenient Truth. It's received many of the proceeds
of the film, and the Live Earth concert.”
[http://www.thedailygreen.com/environmental-news/latest/7808] “Our mission is to
persuade the American people—and people elsewhere in the world—of the
importance and urgency of adopting and implementing effective and
comprehensive solutions for the climate crisis. The Alliance for Climate
Protection is undertaking an unprecedented mass persuasion exercise” [www.climateprotect.org/about/alliance] (See http://www.appinsys.com/GlobalWarming/ObamasGovernment.htm#browner for more about Browner)

Timothy Wirth, former United States Senator from Colorado,
former Assistant Secretary of State for Global Affairs for President Clinton,
said in 1988: "What
we’ve got to do in energy conservation is try to ride the global warming
issue. Even if the theory of global warming is wrong, to have approached
global warming as if it is real means energy conservation, so we will be
doing the right thing anyway in terms of economic policy and environmental
policy." [http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200007/global-warming/2]
Wirth was also involved in organizing the 1988 congressional hearing at which
NASA’s James Hansen made his famous testimony to get the scare rolling. In a
PBS Frontline episode in 2007, Timothy Wirth was shown saying this about the
preparations for the 1988 hearing: “What
we did is that we went in the night before and opened all the windows, I will
admit, right, so that the air conditioning wasn't working inside the room.
And so when the- when the hearing occurred, there was not only bliss, which
is television cameras and double figures, but it was really hot.” [http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/hotpolitics/etc/script.html]

Wirth is currently (2009) the President of the United
Nations Foundation (UNF) [http://www.unfoundation.org/about-unf/].
The UNF was set up in 1998 to channel Ted Turner’s $1billion gift to the UN. Kofi
Annan and Maurice Strong then created a new office inside the Secretariat
called the U.N Fund for International Partnerships (UNFIP). This was created
because the UN Charter. Article 17, Section 2
of the charter states that UN expenses "shall be borne by the Members as
apportioned by the General Assembly."
This requirement is supposed to prevent private interests like the UN
Foundation from exercising undue influence over the world body. [http://www.apfn.org/apfn/turner.htm]
(Ted Turner is also on the board of Green Cross International.)

In 1992 Strobe Talbott (Deputy Secretary of State under
Clinton) wrote: “In fact, I'll bet that within the next hundred years …
nationhood as we know it will be obsolete; all states will recognize a
single, global authority.” [http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,976015,00.html]
Talbott co-authored an article in 2008 which stated: “The world may have
only seven years to start reducing the annual buildup in greenhouse gas
emissions that otherwise threatens global catastrophe within several decades
… Earth is on a trajectory to warm more than 4.5 degrees Fahrenheit by around
mid-century … Manhattan and Florida would be under water” The credits
at the end state of the authors: “They are involved in a joint project with Stanford University
and New York University on global governance, including on the issue of climate
change.” [http://www.brookings.edu/opinions/2008/0828_climate_talbott.aspx]

Carbon Trading

Carbon trading must be globally regulated: “Simon Linnett, Executive Vice-Chairman of
Rothschild, has called for a new
international body, the World Environment Agency, to regulate carbon trading.Unless governments
cede some of their sovereignty to a new world body, he says, a global carbon
trading scheme cannot be enforced and regulated. … A key implication of
creating a legal yet global system of trading is the loss of sovereignty
it implies. … The European nations already do this, on certain issues,
yielding sovereignty to the EU. And in time, the EU itself will eventually
have to yield to a larger body … So emissions trading could establish a new
world order”
